A meditation on 2020.

Created this with Adobe Spark.
morning’s grace
bearing so much potential
dawn reaches my eyes
I’m in the process of shifting to my self-hosted site, CarlSetzer.com. I’d love for you to join me there.

dawn’s light graces the hemlocks
Monday’s potential

Monday’s potential
Monday mornings present unique challenges, but it’s not that hard to find beauty.

night moving westward
the sky brightening briefly
this cool autumn air

as day becomes night
and the hemlocks fade from view
the song of wind chimes
This is an experiment with animations in Adobe Spark. I like how this turned out. What do you think?

Looking like it will be a damp and dreary day. A lovely day for ducks, methinks. Which often makes me think of this song by the British electro-pop duo, Lemon Jelly.
I do find the song delightfully charming. I’m deeply grateful to John Richards at KEXP for introducing me to this song, along with so many other great ones.

hints of jazz piano
I spent many hours of my mid-twenties wandering Seattle’s bookstores and coffee shops. Fond, fond memories. Though a challenging time, mainly financial, I enjoyed that time. Traveling into Seattle became more and more challenging over the years since I returned to Lynnwood. It looks dramatically different, and I haven’t been down since the pandemic started. Puget Sound’s north end holds its charms, too. Just different ones. Evolutions, I guess.
